"An Alton man claims a Godfrey quick-cash&nbsp;loan store illegally notified his employer of its&nbsp;intent to garnish his wages.<br /><br />Mark A. Lewis, individually and on behalf of a group, filed a class action lawsuit May 31 in Madison County Circuit Court against Advance America, Cash Advance Centers of Illinois Inc.<br /><br />Lewis says he signed a contract with Advance America in July 2010 that allowed for assignment of his wages if he failed to make proper payments on the&nbsp;loan.<br /><br />In May 2012 Advance America faxed to Lewis'&nbsp;employer&nbsp;a notice of intent to assign wages, according to the complaint. Lewis contends that violates the&nbsp;Illinois Wage Assignment Act because the notice should have been served directly to him.<br /><br />Lewis claims&nbsp;Advance America&nbsp;has served similar improper notices of wage assignment to employers of other customers. He asks to be appointed as representative for the class and seeks more than $50,000 in damages plus&nbsp;court costs.<br /><br />Attorney Shari L. Murphy of Wood River represents the plaintiffs.<br /><br /><i>Madison County Circuit Court Case No. 13-L-924</i><i></i>"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
